However, the visiting team New England Revolution shocked Inter Miami and their fans when they unexpectedly opened the scoring in the 2nd minute and increased the lead to 2-0 after only 34 minutes of play. The goals were scored by Luca Langoni and Dylan Borrero.
After 2 shocking goals, Inter Miami fought back to quickly find 2 goals to tie the score 2-2 thanks to a spectacular double by striker Suarez in the 40th and 43rd minutes.
In the second half, Messi came on for Julian Gressel in the 57th minute, leading Inter Miami to regain control of all aspects of the pitch. In the 58th minute, young star Benjamin Cremaschi scored to raise the score to 3-2 for Inter Miami. The New England Revolution equalized at 3-3 in the 72nd minute, but the referee and VAR checked and disallowed the goal due to a handball by the visiting team's player before scoring.
Suarez scored a double in the 40th and 43rd minutes.
The match then became a Messi show, as the star played with great excitement, scoring a hat-trick in just 11 minutes, including goals scored in the 78th, 81st and 89th minutes to help Inter Miami win 6-2. Thereby, breaking the MLS scoring record with 74 points, surpassing the old record of 73 points set by New England Revolution in 2021 after the MLS scoring round.
